Hello All:
Ruttenber & Clark's "History of Orange County" NY refers (pp.680,
684) to
a Col. William C. Carpenter owning a farm in Wawayanda, "...about a mile
and
a half south of Brookfield..." in the mid 1800s.
This Col. William C. Carpenter seems not to be any of the WCCs listed
in
ABC's Carpenter Memorial" (as all are said to have lived elsewhere).
Does
anyone here have knowledge or surmise as to who this Col. Carpenter was?
Robin C.

Hello Carpenters:
Here is another Carpenter burial I found on my recent visit to Orange
County NY.
In Ridgebury, along Route 6, is the "Primitive Baptist Church of
Brookfield," est. 1792, with a modest cemetery adjoining. Brookfield
was
the old name for Ridgebury. Strangely, this church seems to have NO
parking area, and NO directly useful path-or-walkway access from the
road. Yet the church itself seems very well maintained, and the grass
is neatly trimmed.
The cemetery, on the other hand, is a mess...with trash around and
broken
and fallen stones common.
In the cemetery of the Primitive Baptist Church is found "Abigail, the
wife of Benjamin Carpenter, died June 14(?), 1836." I don't know which
Benjamin this Abigail is the wife of.
(Also in this cemetery is Mary the wife of Holloway Stephens d.
4/19/1812
aged 38. I noted this Stephens burial only because Holloway Stephens
was an abutting neighbor to my Carman Carpenter in Minisink. There is
no
particular Carpenter meaning to it...but there it is in case someone out
there has some interest or connection.)
